the one being called barristers, the othsr
attorneys. When IA case is to be tried, the
attorney who has taken IL from tie client

in short, does all the work necessary TO bring
it into court. TSere the attorney retains a
barrister to conduct the case in court. Hence,
barristcrs rank higher than attorneys. We
often see the letters Q.c. written after the
name of "a barrister. The title, queens coun-
